Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for the preparation of phosphatidylserines.
  • the invention relates to a process for the preparation of phosphatidylserines starting from natural or synthetic phospholipids, by reacting them with serine in an aqueous medium.
  • Phosphatidylserines have manifold importance, in particular in the production of pharmaceutical compositions suitable for the therapy of cerebral involutive disorders of different nature, such as senile decline or vascular pathologies, in the preparation of particular liposome formulations, and, more recently, the commercialisation of dietetic compositions containing natural lecithins, in particular soy lecithin, enriched in phosphatidyl-(L)-serine, hereinafter referred to as PS, also containing polyunsaturated fatty acid acyl residues.
  • PS phosphatidyl-(L)-serine
  • the process disclosed in said patent comprises the reaction of natural or synthetic phosphatides with serine in a diphasic system consisting of a solution of the starting phosphatide in an organic solvent, typically toluene, and of an aqueous solution containing Serine and phospholipase D. Keeping said system thoroughly stirred, phosphatides are transformed into PS which can be recovered from the organic phase by precipitation with acetone.
  • a diphasic system consisting of a solution of the starting phosphatide in an organic solvent, typically toluene, and of an aqueous solution containing Serine and phospholipase D.
  • the present invention aims at providing a process for the preparation of phosphatidylserines on an industrial scale, which overcomes the drawbacks mentioned above with reference to the prior art.
  • the starting material used in the process can be either a synthetic phosphatidylcholine (PC) such as DiMyristoylPhosphatidylCholine (DMPC), or a natural phosphatidylcholine or a mixture of phospholipids such as soy or egg lecithin or one of the commercially available phospholipid mixtures obtained by partial purification of soy or egg lecithin.
  • PC synthetic phosphatidylcholine
  • DMPC DiMyristoylPhosphatidylCholine
  • DMPC DiMyristoylPhosphatidylCholine
  • the starting material should be thoroughly dispersed in an aqueous medium before the addition of the other reagents, in order to promote reactivity.
  • the dispersion is carried out keeping the starting phospholipide material under stirring for 1-10 hours at 20-50°C with 3-10 volumes of water or saline solutions.
  • Ionic or non-ionic surfactants can be conveniently used, more conveniently the surfactant is bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate sodium salt (AOT) or Tween 80 (R) in amounts from 0.01 to 0.4 g per gram of substrate.
  • AOT bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate sodium salt
  • R Tween 80
  • a further feature of this invention is that it is possible to easily remove the alcohol solvents, and in particular ethanol, which often contaminate the preparations of natural phospholipids (for example phosphatidylcholine-enriched fractions obtained from soy lecithin) and which interfere in the subsequent reaction of formation of PS as they react in the presence of phospholipase D to give the corresponding phosphatidyl derivatives (such as phosphatidylethanol when ethanol is present in the mixture).
  • natural phospholipids for example phosphatidylcholine-enriched fractions obtained from soy lecithin
  • This removal can be conveniently carried out by dispersing the starting phospholipid in an aqueous saline solution, decanting the suspension and removing the liquid phase which contains ethanol dissolved therein.
  • aqueous saline solution can be used any saline solution having sufficiently high density to easily separate the starting material, preferably a solution of calcium chloride or of sodium acetate/acetic acid buffer or of both of them.
  • the starting material aqueous dispersion is added with an aqueous solution containing serine, calcium chloride, a buffer to control pH and phospholipase D.
  • the amount of serine will conveniently range from 4 to 20 mols of serine per mol of phospholipid to be converted into PS.
  • serine can be in the D, L or racemic forms to obtain in any case the corresponding phosphatidyl derivatives.
  • Calcium chloride is the source of calcium ion which favours the phospholipase D-catalysed reactions; furthermore, the presence of calcium ion induces the separation of phosphatidylserine in an easily filterable form after completion of the reaction.
  • the concentration of calcium chloride preferably ranges from 0.05 to 0.5M.
  • An enzyme having a transphosphatidylating activity higher than the hydrolysing activity should conveniently be used as the enzyme for carrying out the reaction; an enzyme of fermentative origin may be advantageously used, more conveniently the enzyme obtained by fermentation of the microorganism deposited at the ATCC under the number 55717.
  • the enzyme can be used either in the crude form, namely the fermentation mixture after filtering off the microorganism, or, more preferably, after purification by ultrafiltration through membrane with suitable cut-off to remove low molecular weight impurities.
  • the enzyme-rich solution from the ultrafiltration can be used as it is or it can be freeze-dried to obtain the enzyme in the solid form; the enzyme amount preferably ranges from 10 to 100 units per gram of phosphatide (the enzymatic activity is determined with test described in Biotechn Techn 7 795 (1993)).
  • the reaction is preferably carried out at 25 - 60°C, most preferably from 40 to 50°C.
  • PS is recovered by filtration of the reaction mixture, washing the solid with water to remove Serine and the present salts.
  • a particularly advantageous aspect of the process according to the invention is that the reaction product (PS) is separated from the reaction mixture in such a form that the recovery can be effected by simple filtration without need for precipitations by addition of solvents.
  • the main advantage of the process according to the invention is the possibility, unexpected in view of the prior art, to carry out the transphosphatidylation reaction of phosphatidylcholine and of similar phosphatides in an aqueous medium, to obtain phosphatidylserine of good purity and in highly satisfactory yields.
  • the enzymatic solution consisted of 80 ml of a phospholipase D solution of 2 U/g activity, obtained by fermentation of the microorganism deposited under the number ATCC55717, then dialysing the crude enzyme solution through an ultrafiltration membrane with cutoff 10,000 Daltons until complete removal of the low molecular weight impurities, were used as the enzyme.
  • This enzyme solution was added with added 40 g of L-serine, 2.9 g of calcium chloride. The resulting solution was added to the phosphatidylcholine dispersion and the mixture was heated to 45°C.
  • HPLC Composition PS 90.7%, PC 1.4%, PA (phosphatidic acid) 6.2%.
  • HPLC composition PS 90.2%, PC 0.6%, PA 6.4%.
  • HPLC composition PS 88.8%, PC 0.6%, PA 4.1%.
  • HPLC composition PS 59.8%, PC 1.6%, PA 6.1%, PE 6.7%.
  • DMPC DiMyristoylPhosphatidylcholine
  • R Tween 80
  • 30 ml 0.1M sodium acetate buffer pH 4.5 were stirred at 45 °C for 1 hour.
  • the dispersion was added to a solution of 80 ml of aqueous phospholipase D solution obtained as described in example 1, 40 g of L-serine and 2.9 g of calcium chloride, the temperature was brought to 50°C keeping stirring for 17 hours.
  • the solid was filtered, washed with water and dried. Final weight 5.4 g.
  • HPLC composition PS 83.2%, PC 4.3%, PA 11.7%.
  • DMPC DiMyristoylPhosphatidylcholine
  • AOT 1.0 g of AOT
  • 30 ml of 0.1M sodium acetate buffer pH 4.5 were stirred at 50 °C for 45 minutes.
  • the dispersion was added with a solution of 80 ml of aqueous Phospholipase D solution obtained as described in example 1, 40 g of L-serine and 2.9 g of calcium chloride, the temperature was brought to 50°C keeping stirring for 20 hours. The solid was filtered, washed with water and dried. Final weight 3.66 g.
  • HPLC composition PS 85.2%, PC 10.5 %, PA 3.5%.
